The ORA Mocha Storm Ocellaris Clownfish is an egg-laying species and usually deposits its eggs on a surface close to the bottom of an anemone host. It will also defend the eggs from tankmates. The eggs are usually born in between 6 and 11 days, based on the temp. The fry need to be raised in a separate tank with a diet consisting of Rotifers, and then the baby brine shrimp.
